    Excellent article and well thought out (not). Point 2, when others ask for your help, say "No". Point 4, ask others for help, dont do it all yourself. Bit stupid i say.

    Working part-time (2 days a week) is good for busy mums. I don't think full time working mums are being fair. I think when the children are under 10 years of age mums should be there are much as possible. Staying home full time after kids turn two can be bad for mothers mental health and social skills and self worth. Being a mum is the best thing that can happen to a woman. Some mums just have a big mortgage and no choice. Australia has very expensive real estate.

    It would be ever better if they could count. Going from 5 to 7 means that they haven't really taken the stress out of their day. Common sense is one thing. Math is another.

    It is not compulsory to have children, even if you are married. Smart women have zero, or one child max. Dumb women have litters.
